* IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlersDavid Howells2006-10-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the Linux kernel. The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path (ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()). Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception handling. Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing. I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers. I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile with minimal configurations. This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy. Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one: struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs); And put the old one back at the end: set_irq_regs(old_regs); Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ(). In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary: - update_process_times(user_mode(regs)); - profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs); + update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs())); + profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING); I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself, except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode(). Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers: (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in the input_dev struct. (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs pointer or not. (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type irq_handler_t.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As I promised last week, here is the first pass at removing all unnecessary printk's that exist in network device drivers currently in promiscuous mode. The duplicate messages are not needed so they have been removed. Some of these drivers are quite old and might not need an update, but I did them all anyway.

* [netdrvr] Remove Linux-specific changelogs from several Becker template driversJeff Garzik2006-07-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When in-kernel net drivers branched from Donald Becker's vanilla driver set, in the days before BitKeeper and git, a driver changelog was maintained in the driver source code. These days, the kernel's changelog is far superior and much more accurate, so the in-driver changelogs are removed. Another relic of the Becker/kernel split was version numbering, using "foo-LKx.y.z" notation, resulting in weird version numbers like "1.17b-LK1.1.9". These drivers are for older hardware, and see few changes these days, so the version numbers were all bumped to something more simple. Finally, in xircom_tulip_cb specifically, an additional cleanup removes the always-enabled CARDBUS cpp macro. Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

* [NET]: Avoid allocating skb in skb_padHerbert Xu2006-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | First of all it is unnecessary to allocate a new skb in skb_pad since the existing one is not shared. More importantly, our hard_start_xmit interface does not allow a new skb to be allocated since that breaks requeueing. This patch uses pskb_expand_head to expand the existing skb and linearize it if needed. Actually, someone should sift through every instance of skb_pad on a non-linear skb as they do not fit the reasons why this was originally created. Incidentally, this fixes a minor bug when the skb is cloned (tcpdump, TCP, etc.). As it is skb_pad will simply write over a cloned skb. Because of the position of the write it is unlikely to cause problems but still it's best if we don't do it. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [PATCH] via-rhine: zero pad short packets on Rhine I ethernet cardsCraig Brind2006-05-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes Rhine I cards disclosing fragments of previously transmitted frames in new transmissions. Before transmission, any socket buffer (skb) shorter than the ethernet minimum length of 60 bytes was zero-padded. On Rhine I cards the data can later be copied into an aligned transmission buffer without copying this padding. This resulted in the transmission of the frame with the extra bytes beyond the provided content leaking the previous contents of this buffer on to the network. Now zero-padding is repeated in the local aligned buffer if one is used. Following a suggestion from the via-rhine maintainer, no attempt is made here to avoid the duplicated effort of padding the skb if it is known that an aligned buffer will definitely be used. This is to make the change "obviously correct" and allow it to be applied to a stable kernel if necessary. There is no change to the flow of control and the changes are only to the Rhine I code path. The patch has run on an in-service Rhine-I host without incident. Frames shorter than 60 bytes are now correctly zero-padded when captured on a separate host. I see no unusual stats reported by ifconfig, and no unusual log messages.

* [PATCH] via-rhine: change mdelay to msleep and remove from ISR pathJohn W. Linville2005-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Get rid of the mdelay call in rhine_disable_linkmon. The function is called from the via-rhine versions of mdio_read and mdio_write. Those functions are indirectly called from rhine_check_media and rhine_tx_timeout, both of which can be called in interrupt context. So, create tx_timeout_task and check_media_task as instances of struct work_struct inside of rhine_private. Then, change rhine_tx_timeout to invoke schedule_work for tx_timeout_task (i.e. rhine_tx_timeout_task), moving the work to process context. Also, change rhine_error (invoked from rhine_interrupt) to invoke schedule_work for check_media_task (i.e. rhine_check_media_task), which simply calls rhine_check media in process context. Finally, add a call to flush_scheduled_work in rhine_close to avoid any resource conflicts with pending work items. Signed-off-by: John W.

| * [NET]: Remove gratuitous use of skb->tail in network drivers.David S. Miller2005-06-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Many drivers use skb->tail unnecessarily. In these situations, the code roughly looks like: dev = dev_alloc_skb(...); [optional] skb_reserve(skb, ...); ... skb->tail ... But even if the skb_reserve() happens, skb->data equals skb->tail. So it doesn't make any sense to use anything other than skb->data in these cases. Another case was the s2io.c driver directly mucking with the skb->data and skb->tail pointers. It really just wanted to do an skb_reserve(), so that's what the code was changed to do instead. Another reason I'm making this change as it allows some SKB cleanups I have planned simpler to merge. In those cleanups, skb->head, skb->tail, and skb->end pointers are removed, and replaced with skb->head_room and skb->tail_room integers. Signed-off-by: David S.
